Beatniks, Hippies, and Punks Ginsberg was howling, Kerouac was on the road Charlie Parker was wailing on a bebop saxophone The Grateful Dead were jamming from LA to Berserkley Leary was spewing psychobabble on Owlsley's LSD Johnny Rotten and Sid Vicious were screaming at the top of their lungs They were slamming at CBGB's Beatniks, hippies, and punks Some of them were hermits, some of them chose communes Some were SDS, some wore swastikas to shock you Who the f*ck is James G. Watt and who shot Dr. King? They were clowns without answers, they were heard and obscene They laughed at Gordon Liddy, cursed Joe McCarthy's witch hunts They spit at Reagan's Star Wars Beatniks, hippies, and punks Now there's Maynard G. Krebs and the Monkees and X on MTV From Rodeo Drive to Madison Avenue all you need is money There's ripped up t-shirts with safety pins in the window of Bloomingdale's They weren't really an alternative they just kept things from getting stale But they all shared the same fate, into the pit of fashion they sunk They're just pissed off Pepsi generations Beatniks, hippies, and punks Richard Helm
